Put the few things I thought I needed in a smaller purse than I usually carry and left the house in a hurry. Got to the car and realized that I had my driver's license -- but not the keys. Car keys and house keys tethered together, I was locked out. Then I remembered that the window from our porch into the living room was open with just a screen to keep me out. I grabbed the sharpest thing on the porch -- this rock -- and started sawing my way through the screen, starting with a small hole already there. Primitive, but it worked. Part of the way through, though, my neighbors loaned me a knife to finish the job. Still, I'd like to think that this was my substitute "key." I know this doesn't precisely fit the mundane challenge, but I couldn't resist taking this when I got home again. A more fitting "composition" is posted in my 365 album: http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2013-05-16
Very original and creative thinking! Maybe you can bury this 'key' in your garden and dig it up (or others dig it up, thousands of years later ;) ) when you've locked yourself out again? Lol!
@aglennc Thantks! @stimuloog Yeah, my neighbor said, "I've told Frank [my husband] before, you ought to put a key under a rock somewhere." I'm not the only one to lock themselves out -- just the only one to hack through the screen. He asks to use their phone to call me. LOL On my list of things to do today: get another spare key made and put it someplace secure on the OUTSIDE of the house.
